Ladies Edition, Woman's World is the third studio album by American R&B group H-Town. It was released October 28, 1997 on Relativity Records.

Hip-hop-influenced ballads and slow jams like 'Ways to Treat a Woman,' 'A Natural Woman,' and the single 'They Like It Slow' have a more respectful tone, and the group is more conscious toward women with this album.[3]
This was the final album released in Dino's lifetime.
